Staff Management & Moderation — by Aura Studio
Keep your moderation tools within reach. AuraStaff brings staff sessions, inventory inspection, interactive freezing, private communication and player observation together in one configurable Paper plugin.
Free to use · English & Spanish · Paper · Java 21
Built for Your Moderation Team
Staff Mode
Switch into moderation mode with /staff or /mod.
Your original inventory, armor, offhand and flight state are saved
before your moderation tools are equipped.
- Persistent session records and inventory recovery.
- Flight and configurable staff protections.
- Tools identified through persistent data rather than display names.
- A consistent, configurable moderation hotbar.
Your Moderation Toolkit
- InvSee & EnderSee: inspect online players’ inventories and Ender Chests through live views.
- Controlled editing: separate viewing and editing permissions, with slot swapping inside the target inventory. Armor and offhand slots remain read-only.
- Teleport Compass: travel to a targeted block or through a wall, subject to destination safety checks.
- Punishment Hammer: open your existing moderation workflow using a configurable external command, executed as the moderator.
Vanish
Control your visibility while Staff Mode is active. Players with the appropriate permission can see hidden moderators, while other players cannot. A persistent ActionBar keeps your current Vanish state visible.
Interactive Freeze
Freeze a player and present a response menu asking whether they admit to cheating. AuraStaff records the response and informs the moderation team.
- Movement is restricted while camera movement remains available.
- The response menu reopens if the player closes it.
- Active freezes persist across disconnects and restarts.
- Disconnects are recorded without automatic punishment.
- Admission-based punishment requires a configured external command, the necessary permissions and explicit moderator confirmation.
Communication & Observation
-
StaffChat: communicate privately using
/staffchator/sc. -
Private typing mode: route normal chat messages
into StaffChat with
/sc toggle. - Spectate: observe a player and restore your previous location and game mode when you finish.
- RandomTP: visit an eligible online player using configurable world and freeze filters.
A Panel That Keeps Things Together
Access your moderation workflow through five organized sections:
- Player Manager
- Freeze Manager
- Staff Manager
- Vanish Manager
- Staff Settings
Personal Preferences
Each moderator can choose their typing channel, incoming StaffChat messages, Freeze alerts and frozen-player disconnect alerts.
Preference cards explain each option, display its current state and show saving feedback. Settings are stored individually and retained across reconnects and server restarts.

- Target Minecraft range: 1.21.4–1.21.11.
- Configuration: YAML files and translatable messages.
- Storage: SQLite.
- WorldEdit: not required.
Operators receive AuraStaff permissions by default. Permissions can also be assigned individually through your permission manager.
AuraStaff does not include its own ban or punishment system. Punishment integrations require an external plugin and configured commands. The first startup requires access to Paper’s library repository to load the SQLite driver.
